Friends,

here is the newly evolved plan 😁🎆:

At popular request, we will be having a "Before the Fourth" Sangha Service Weekend Campout at our Hermitage, organized by Jason and Lori. The new plan is: gathering before lunchtime at the hermitage on June 30th, offering volunteer service in the afternoon, staying over, offering volunteer service in the morning, and departing in the afternoon July 1st. RSVP to Jason and Lori. 

Be in touch with us at the hermitage if you would like to come earlier, stay later, keep the earlier posted plan to come for volunteer campout at the hermitage from July 2nd-4th, or any days between July 1st and 8th.

Sangha Service Campout Weekend organized by Erika is now rescheduled for the last weekend in August: August 25-26th.

Thank you very much kind friends, Erika, Jason and Lori, for organizing these Sangha Service Weekend Campouts here at Aranya Bodhi!

With metta to you,

and to all living beings,

Aranya Bodhi Hermitage hermits

Calling all friends of our Sangha! ~

Metta greetings from fresh mist and sunshine in the quiet coastal redwoods of this Awakening Forest ~ 

We are getting ready for our yearly Sangha Service Volunteers Campout at Aranya Bodhi! 

This year's Fourth of July Sangha Service Volunteers Campout is once again organized by the awesome Erika Teach - from July 2nd to 4th. 

We will be lovingly preparing the hermitage both for its monastic-dwellers over the Vassa, and also, this year, for all visiting friends incoming for the Hermitage's Ten Year Anniversary the following weekend: July 7th.

If you are interested in joining in or would like to learn more, RSVP to Erika. Erika will be your point person for general questions and information; for letting you know what camping gear, tools and supplies you need; for providing you with directions and the gate code; for organizing the bringing of food; and for carpooling from Sacramento. 

Get in touch with Jason for carpooling from the San Francisco East Bay. 

Welcome to share the attached flyer with friends.

If you'd like to volunteer over the weekend prior to the Fourth of July (June 30th-July 1st), welcome to get in touch with us at the hermitage - by replying to this email as soon as possible.

We look forward to seeing you in this forest, with it's saffron-robed women hermits, for a Fourth of July full of the joy of the Buddha-Dhamma & Sangha! 

Sangha Service Campout includes meditation, Dhamma talks with Q&A and discussion time, as well as time to sit and walk quietly in the forest and creek.

Metta and all the best to all readers!

from the peaceful and brilliant Awakening Forest
